MORE on Labour MP Stephen Timms and the woman who stabbed him. She’s 21-year-old Roshonara Choudhary. Can the media use the incident to reinforce prejudice and its new agenda? What facts do you use in your story? Is the attacker’s, gender race and religion relevant? Is Muslim relevant? Is she a Muslim? Is she crazed?

All reports mention that the attacker was a woman. But mentioning the rest is down to editorial judgement.

Stephen Timms, the MP for East Ham and a vice-chairman of the Labour Party, is thought to have been knifed twice in the stomach while meeting a female constituent at Beckton Globe community hall at 3.20pm yesterday.

Interesting – It “appears” a Muslim woman, Roshonara Choudhary, has been arrested in attempting to kill Labour MP Stephen Timms. Could this Choudhary be related to Anjem Choudhary,the infamous devout muslim cleric hellbent on overthrowing the West and installing an Islamic state.

If you say she is a Muslim, do you also report the religion of every alleged nutter?

J L Choudrey seems to be suffering from typical Islamic schizophrenia. First he says:
“In Islam Allah (god) has said him self in the Quran (the holy book) that Humans are never allowed to take a humans life only Allah can take someones life”. Yet a few hours later he is saying “Islam says that the person that murders someone should have their head chopped off. In Saudi Arabia this punishment takes place.” There seems to be a small contradiction.

Islam is a religion of peace – and we will kill anyone who says it isn’t.

lftekhar, you say “Muslims are generally violent, do not have respect for rule and law and love to take law in own hand. Lack of education and civility is common among the muslims. And when knowledge is limited, ignorence prevail.” I can’t agree with your statement above. One can’t put all Muslims in that category.

The terrorists Muslims had been making terrorist attacks for many years in other countries; yet the Muslims living in our respective countries had been accepted, respected and no problems. It was when the terrorists Muslims struck us right in our homelands the public’s attitude towards and acceptance of the Muslims changed. Those peaceful law abiding Muslims were then lumped in with the terrorists who struck us and the distrust of, prejudice and outrage began towards them all. One could say we played right into those terrorists hands when the outrage against all Muslims began!

All Muslims were put on the defensive; people shunned them; the young Muslims were treated differently and saw the anger and many experienced the outrage and hatred for them; newspapers wrote articles about the Muslims and their faith. It became a witch hunt against all Muslims. Hatred begets hatred, anger begets anger and many of the peaceful Muslims, especially the young, became easy prey for those terrorists Muslims to take hold of and train them and teach them to hate us.

Well done for writing an article that, instead of relating the story and inviting comments from your readers; perfectly reverse-engineers your own pre-existing conclusion – and gives them the ‘right answers’ in advance.

This then gives you a platform to go on and ‘impress’ everyone with how, um, multicultural and tolerant you are…innit?

Is it *really* fomenting prejudice to describe the assailant in a stabbing?

Most people are tolerant and reasonable enough to realise that not every Muslim is violent. But it would be hard to escape the conclusion that, as a whole, Islam is a comparatively violent and negative ideology – and one which tends to set itself against the western norms of democracy, human rights and liberalism.

Unfortunately whatever this ‘peace loving’ muslims says muslim relegeon as a whole is very backword, muslims are not civilised, look at the way most of the live here, thier view on great britain is to change this country in to an islamic state, thus each and evry muslim trying to mass produce offsprings to increase thier population like anything,building mosques everywhere, not following the laws of the land & wants sharia laws here, having thier own countless organizations here, you talk to any of the muslim for 5 mins and soon you know how religeous nutters they are, they are prepared for jihad towards any non-islamic people, thats for sure.

they are not adding any value to this country except kebab shops, the most are sponging off the state benefits & carry the british passport for convenience yet no respect to this country & flag.

the country is heading towards that way and the rest of this country’s citizens have the right to protect thier living and identity or else it will be too late,

oh anyone who tells you thsi utter truth are often branded a racist etc etc, i am no BNP or national front, but I personally expereinced that you cannot live along muslims, how long would it take this government to act ? i am sick of it.

mrtumblehere

shouldnt the her majesty’s govt send all the muslims of britian to thier native countries at once?

the reasons are because : muslim faith is extremely violent faith which cannot get on with other faiths in this country

muslims do not add any value to this country & they are here for a decade but cannot just get integrated at any level

muslims in britain cannot respect the country’s law, its criminal that while they hold british passports of convenience they want sharia law here, if other british visits thier countries we are expected to obey thier laws, but its thier human rights to do what they want?? joke ha

muslims are generally uneducated (except islam faith schools) and follow each other like herd in anything, that means viciously against other faiths,terrorism & anti-britishness is 100% among them.

muslims just mass produce in numbers, given the size of this island and available resources we will have serious consequences of over crowding ( and benefit system likely to suffer most)

muslims cannot get on well with other citizens, most dont speak english, they may be here for decades but dont know the law, mass illegal immigration and multiple wives bringings to this country, they havent become moderates since moving to this country

muslims all or most support islamic fundemental terrorist activites in this country by either keeping quiet of thier communities wrongdoings or publicly voicing opinions through the mass of so called ‘islamic’ organizations..

all i found time after time they reiterate that Islam is a peaceful religeon, i am very tired of that joke.

afterall muslims dont respect the Head of this country The Queen , the country’s parliament, Law of the land or the British flag. not at all.

some ‘peace loving religeous’ member please argue with your points and enlighten me what you and Prophet Allah is all about ?

thank you.

I always think that if you’re going to call anyone backwards or claim that they are poorly educated, your own posting better be spot on with spelling and grammar…
Some Muslims are twats.. ditto some Catholics, Christians, etc. Doesn’t mean they all are. I’ve been treated by Muslim Doctors and Dentists: as far as I know they didn’t also own a kebab shop nor where they plotting Jihads on Friday afernoon prayers. I’ve also met several Imams through work, all of whom were lovely, and worked alongside Muslim colleagues who I would trust to watch my back 100%.
I think all sides need to try and make the effort to get along. I always do. Try it.

Better than a media blackout ~ with a PC directed commentary ~ decided by those from on high ~ we should really be hearing more about this woman from family, friends and neighbours who knew her. We should find out ~ as with every attempted murder of a public figure ~ what her motivation was!

Shouldn’t we?

Or is Anorak handing out permission slips.

There have been a few ‘crazed’ Muslims who have gone into local UK churches with machetes.

We can all be stereotyped and I am almost sure that most would feel at the least a little uncomfortable being labelled “ignorant” and “violent” .
Has the word “muslim” has been hijacked and turned into something terrible by some?…it seems so.

Haven’t there been more wars over who has the better deities than any other reason, apart from who has the better greener grass

Well what did he do must me asked. The girl certainly can’t have randomly attacked him.

dairy

get real Anonymous – anybody who goes out of the house tooled up with kitchen knives is looking for trouble – male or female.

dairy

23 – it is relevant in respect of the fact that she seems to have concealed the weapons beneath robes, which the vast majority of the population do not wear and which relate to a religion – not solely Islam, granted, but that seems to be the predominant reason given for wearing them in a Western society.
Identity and concealment of identity are big issues at the moment and this is why, IMO, it has been picked up on in this case.

June

Nah dairy, its the naughty victim who fell on the knife , they do it all the time…….

I find it scary that so few papers reported she was a Muslim. It’s political correctness gone mad when they won’t even report the basic facts. There’s every chance that there was a jihadi motivation here.

Wilf

Hmmm… turns out the fact that she was Muslim was indeed relevant.

Just as the religion of abusive Catholic Priests is relevant.

In both cases, the unwillingness of the wider religious population to deal with these problems has contributed to the mess they find themselves in.

I am not sure this article has stood the test of time particualary well, especially as the details of the court case reveal her religion was a central factor in the incident.
